which is used to treat the hair for making the Wave permanent; This "latter tube is made with indentations or corrugations so that there will be spaces, extending, preferably, long%itudinally of'the tubes, between the inner anc outer tubes in order that whenlthe tubes-are dipped into Water to moisten the chemical both inner and outer's urfaces of the inner tube will be moistened. This results in a quicker moistening of the inner tube and in addition the latter, absorbs and holds more moisture than heretofore and there is therefore a more'ample supply of water with which to carry on the vaporizinfi action, Other advantageswill be set fort My i oresent .in vention relates to. the

, rial or chemical for treating the. hair is ap the tube is pressed, whereas irregular holes are produced in the tubes now in use. As a result of this there is less chance of the vapors being directed against the head. Furthermore, the tie string 5 may be applied to this form of'tube much quicker'than inthe 7 plain tubes heretofore used. This outer tube is adapted to be used either in c-on unct1o n with the inner tube herein described or it may be soldseparately for its individual advantages. a The lnner'tube, which is shown in Figures 3 and4, consists of a corrugated cylindricalbody 7 preferably formed of paper or cardboardstock or other material capable of absorbing moisture, and the corrugations 8 of thisvtube extend lengthwise thereof. Preferably, this tube "consists of a flat sheet of corrugated material 9 as is shown in Figure 5, which is adapted to be rolled intothe tube shown in Figures 3 and l, at thejtiine it is 7 being ap'fiplied'to the outer tubepin'order that t the latter or fit other size tubes.

'it'may The sheet 9 may be folded incircular form with the'edges overlapping as shown inFigure 4, so that overlapping corrugations will fit within each other as shown'at 10 andthus lock the sheet in tubular form. The mateplied to the inner side of the corrugated tube 7 and in Figures 3 and 5, I have shown this I material 11 applied Within; the grooves of the corrugations for a portion of the length f of the tube.

. of the other materials. used for permanent waving, is preferablyspread over the inner surface of the sheet-9 as shown in Figure 5 so that it'lies within the grooves of the corrugations and when the tube is rolled into cylindrical" form as shown in Figures 3 and 7 4: the chemical'material will lie inside the i tube -7 and be presented adjacent to or against the lock of hair.

V The corrugated tube 7 is inserted within the outertube {i so that it encircles the curler with the. lock of hair audit is placed so that the portions carrying the treatingmaterial 11 immediately surround the lock of'hair as shown in Figure 2. Generally, the inner pensive tomake.

' claim is This material, which may be a' paste containing borax'or which may be any tube is inserted in the outer tube and both are applied over the lock-of h'air'at the same time and it is customary to dip the tubes in water to Wet the, chemical material and supply the necessary moisture. Where smooth cylindrical inner tubes have been used as heretofore, it was necessary to hold the-tubes in thewater' for a few seconds or else the chemical was not sufficiently moistened. In the present case when the tubes are inserted in th water the latter not only flows onto the chemical but it also passes into the spaces cient moisture 'foroperation. The grooves This is or the corrugations of the inner tube are sufiicient to hold the chemical until thetube is put into use withoutother, means for holding it and as there is nothing between the chemical and the hair whenv the tube is in use the action of the chemical is both quick and reliable.
